Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup
This Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Soup is a twist on traditional a cabbage roll recipe, for a fraction of the work. With ground beef, cabbage, onion and vegetables; simmered in a rich tomato sauce in your slow cooker.

I love my Lazy Cabbage Rolls recipe, which is a deconstructed version of slow cooker cabbage rolls. Taking it a step further, our Stuffed Cabbage Casserole is a one-pot dish that the whole family loves.
Saving time to get the classic flavour, it’s why I love to make One-Pot Lasagna Soup or Slow Cooker Easy Lasagna.
This great recipe is much less work and time than making traditional cabbage rolls. Plus, a hot bowl of soup is just needed sometimes.
Cabbage rolls are one of those meals that could be a lunch or filling dinner.
Yet the downside is that they take so much time to prep and cook. I hate spending more time making a dinner than enjoying it.
This is why I love this Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup recipe. You get all the flavour but it’s not as time consuming to make.
Being a slow cooker meal, it’s a no-fuss meal that is ready when you are.
Plus this slow cooker soup warms your belly and soul, a true comforting meal. Just like our easy Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup recipe!

What to Serve with Cabbage Roll Soup
Since this soup is so filling, I like to think of it as a main course dinner.
Yet, smaller servings would make it great for lunch.
Even smaller yet and it’s a great appetizer or wonderful to bring to a potluck.
I suggest serving this soup with these Easy Baking Powder Biscuits or our homemade Air Fryer Garlic Bread. Both are a simple yet perfect side. And great for dipping!

Once completely prepared, this crockpot cabbage roll soup recipe can last in in the refrigerator for three to four days.
Just make sure to put any leftover soup in an airtight container or cover well with plastic wrap.
If you want crockpot cabbage soup at a later date, I suggest freezing some in between. I talk about how to freeze this soup below.

Can you Freeze Cabbage Roll Soup?
Yes, you can! Soups are great for freezing for another dinner much like this Slow Cooker Butter Chicken.
Both as a whole or in individual-sized portions too.
I’d make sure not to overcook the rice, no matter if you’re enjoying it now or later though. Mushy rice just isn’t preferred.

I like to freeze some of this soup, for those days when you need a quick meal. I defrost in the fridge the night before and re-heat in a pot on the stove.
You can do the same with this Tomato Vegetable Hamburger Soup.

Yum this cabbage roll soup sounds delicious
I don’t like cabbage at all but the rest looks delicious, perhaps I could substitute something else instead – suggestions welcome. Cauliflower and broccoli both would go to mush I suspect.
Try using Napa cabbage. It’s sweeter and not thick.
I use it for cabbage soup. That is the cabbage I used for this soup.
Thanks for the tip Bruna! I don’t recall seeing this type in stores but I’ll be looking for it now! 🙂
Thanks Brunswick will give it a try
Really easy to make. Two bowls later……it is delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
